Fang Xiaoyue didn't think these escorts would have anything to do with her, so she took a few glances and satisfied her curiosity about the ancient escort agencies, then sat at her desk and started practicing calligraphy.
In this world, good words are very useful.
There is a saying that words are like people.
Your handwriting is good, which often takes advantage of you.
What's more, when Fang Xiaoyue was practicing calligraphy during this period, she accidentally discovered that when she was writing, she could inject the collected literary spirit into the words she wrote.
This is actually a usage of Wenqi.
Characters infused with literary spirit naturally have the effect of influencing people's sanity.
For example, he wrote a poem "Quiet Thought at Night", which can evoke Zhang Yuanming's homesickness.
And the words injected into it have the effect of frightening evil spirits.
However, he has not encountered the evil yet, and he does not know what the effect will be.
And now he is trying to inject star power into words.
But the effect is not very good.
Compared with words that can be stored for a long time without dissipating after being injected into words, star power can only be stored for three days after being injected into words.
But until now, he still doesn't know what effect the star power will have after injecting it into the text. It seems to be ordinary and has no impact on Zhang Yuanming, but he can feel the star power in the text slowly dissipating. .
But there is an advantage to continuously injecting star power into words, that is, when practicing calligraphy, he can practice Wuqu Zhuang and Wuqu Sword Technique at the same time.
And it can achieve the effect of pen power penetrating through paper.
However, if this is not controlled well, pen marks will be left on the desk by accident.
Fang Xiaoyue now tries her best to control her pen power, which is equivalent to exercising her control over her star power.
After writing an article about Li Bai's The Knight's Journey, Fang Xiaoyue wrote another article about Li Bai's The White Horse.
Just as he was putting down the last stroke, he heard a quarrel coming from outside.
When he stuck his head out of the window to check, he heard the voice of his groom.
problem occurs?
He hurried out and happened to meet Zhang Yuanming coming out as well.
The two of them went downstairs together and came to the stable on the side of the yard.
This is where the inn stores horses, cattle and other livestock for guests. Storing cattle and horses is free, but fodder is charged.
When she came down, Fang Xiaoyue saw that the escorts were no longer in the lobby.
When he walked into the yard, he saw that the escort's carriage in the yard had taken the horse away.
At this time, he probably guessed why the groom was quarreling with someone.
When he arrived at the stable, he saw several bodyguards pushing and shoving around the groom, still cursing uncleanly.
The groom's body can be considered strong. After all, driving a carriage and other labors, the income is pretty good, so it is reasonable to be stronger.
But compared to the bodyguard who eats meat and practices martial arts every day, the groom looks much thinner.
"stop!"
Before Fang Xiaoyue could say anything, Zhang Yuanming, who always had an upright personality, took the lead to stop him.
"What's wrong? You still want to help?"
A middle-aged escort with a beard turned around and saw Zhang Yuanming and the two coming, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanming regretted not bringing the thick-backed sword with him when he came down, otherwise he would have to look good.
"Ding Sanlu, what's going on?"
Fang Xiaoyue didn't want Zhang Yuanming to fight with him, so she hurriedly pulled her cousin away and asked the groom.
"Master Fang, our horses were kept well in the stable. These guys wanted to take our horses out as soon as they came. Fortunately, I saw them..."
When the groom saw Fang Xiaoyue coming, he immediately felt confident and started talking nonsense.
Of course, Fang Xiaoyue also knew that this was only seen by the groom. After all, he believed that these escorts were not so bold as to snatch other people's horses in the small town.
It was probably because there was not enough space in the stable. There were more than ten horses used by the Escort to pull the carts and ride on them, so they wanted to move the original horses out of the stable.
There is no doubt that this is a bit self-serving at the expense of others.
"You are so brave! How dare you rob other people's property in broad daylight! I am the editor of the Hanlin Academy! I will send a letter to the county government to arrest you and other villains!"
Fang Xiaoyue didn't really mean anything when she said this, but if she faced such a group of reckless men and didn't want to fight with them, she would have no choice but to gain the upper hand and use her power to overwhelm them.
Hearing Fang Xiaoyue's roar, the arrogant arrogance of those bodyguards suddenly subsided. However, there was still a young bodyguard who was a little unconvinced and shouted in a low voice: "You are talking nonsense. What kind of official do you say you are?" That's right, I also said that I am an inspector from the Inspection Department."
Most of the people in the escort agency have little education. Anyone who can attend a private school for two years and know some words can do a good job in the escort agency.
Therefore, these low-level bodyguards don't even know what kind of officials the Imperial Academy editors are. Their narrow vision only knows that the inspectors of the Inspection Department are very powerful officers.
After all, the officer with whom the Escort Bureau has more dealings is the Inspection Department's inspection officer.
"Bold! Nonsense! My master is the number one scholar appointed by the Holy Emperor! The Hanlin Academy compiled it from a sixth-rank official! How can you and others talk nonsense?!
"
Zhang Yuanming couldn't help it for a long time. When the young escort said this, he almost jumped up and roared out with a high expression.
Well, Fang Xiaoyue guessed that it was because Zhang Yuanming had no chance to show off at all along the way. Now that he could show off, he couldn't help shouting.
As for calling himself Lao Ye, this is not surprising.
After all, this is the custom of Daze Country.
Although the two parties are cousins, in the eyes of most people, Fang Xiaoyue is an official and the master, while Zhang Yuanming, a commoner, is a servant!
Zhang Yuanming's roar made him feel happy, but most of the people in the inn heard it.
It also frightened those escorts.
After all, these days are relatively peaceful, and the court pays special attention to those who pretend to be officials. If they are caught, they will at least be punished with a long delay.
In addition, Fang Xiaoyue seemed to have official power, so the escorts believed him.
And no matter how uneducated they are, they have only read dramas.
In dramas, the Qingtian magistrate Qingtian is often mentioned.
Therefore, they also know that the sixth grade is definitely bigger than the seventh grade!
In other words, the young-looking boy in front of me is actually an official greater than the county magistrate? And some of you seem to have offended each other?
"We are not trying to steal the horse, we are just moving it."
At this time, they did not dare to say anything more, they just kept saying that they were not robbing Ma Yunyun.
And at this time, the leader of the escort team also arrived.
Naturally, he heard what he said before, and when he came up, he held down the escorts and himself and kowtowed to Fang Xiaoyue, with a low profile.
This also made it hard for Fang Xiaoyue to continue pursuing the case, so he just scolded them a few words, telling them that they needed to keep to themselves and had to rely on force to bully the people.
But having said that, Fang Xiaoyue also sighed a little after returning to the guest room.
This means that the people do not fight against the officials.
Under such a feudal dynastic system, it was impossible for the people to confront the government.
The human heart is like iron, and the official law is like a furnace!
When these escorts go out to escort, no matter how good they are in martial arts, ordinary people are bullied by them, and they are bullied, and they can't even say a word.
But if they offend officials, the consequences are hard to tell.
Take Fang Xiaoyue herself as an example, if she really handed a two-finger wide note to the local county magistrate.
The county magistrate can find trouble for them casually and make things difficult for them, and then he can send them to the prison cell.
As for the bodyguards' resistance?
Haha, probably the county magistrate has to thank them.
If you dare to resist, I will behead you!
Just call in a group of county soldiers and they can kill all these escorts!
This is not surprising. The martial arts of the bodyguards may be higher than that of the county soldiers.
However, the county soldiers were wearing leather armor, holding long spears, and marching in formation. During this period, light crossbows pressed down on the formation, making it difficult for casual warriors to get close.
Not to mention, the martial arts of these bodyguards may not be high enough to penetrate the county soldiers' battle formation.
This is why the imperial court does not allow private possession of armor and crossbows.
You have no armor to protect you, and you don't have a crossbow to shoot from a long distance. When facing the imperial armored soldiers, no matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you will be slashed by a knife. Ten spears will stab you at the same time. During this period, the crossbow arrows are fired so hard that you don't even have a chance to dodge.
In addition, even if you escape once, after the sea arrest documents spread all over the world, you will only be able to fall into the trap of a bandit.
By that time, you will be on the opposite side of the overwhelming majority.
No matter how powerful your martial arts skills are, you can't survive the waves of encirclement and suppression.
In the end it was still a death.
This is the power of the official law.
No matter how powerful you are, you are only an enemy of a hundred people.
And the government is not afraid if it fails once, twice, or three times. If the county soldiers are defeated, they can mobilize the county soldiers. If the county soldiers fail, they can also mobilize the border troops, the forbidden troops, and the soldiers of the world!
As for you who have fallen into a trap, you only need to fail once and you are finished.
How could a group of thieves resist the power of the entire world?
This is why there are more escorts in that group than Fang Xiaoyue, and they seem to be more capable than Fang Xiaoyue on the surface, but they can only kneel down in front of Fang Xiaoyue.
Back in the guest room, Fang Xiaoyue practiced calligraphy for a while and then went to bed.
After breakfast the next day, when the groom hung up the car and took Zhang Yuanming into the car, Fang Xiaoyue discovered that the escort team had left the inn.
Even the groom didn't know when they left.
Of course, this is not surprising.
If it were any ordinary person who had offended an official and didn't escape early, would he still be here waiting for the disaster to come?
After all, they didn't dare to risk their lives to find out whether Fang Xiaoyue had really forgiven them.
What if Fang Xiaoyue stabilizes them and delivers a note to the county magistrate?
Fang Xiaoyue estimated that the escorts drove away at about 3-4 o'clock in the morning.
At that time, he was having a sweet dream in bed and didn't pay attention to the other person's departure at all.
Regarding the escort team's early departure, Zhang Yuanming looked happy, probably because he felt the pleasure of the fox pretending to be the tiger's power.
Even Fang Xiaoyue felt the joy of being an official.
In fact, most of the people in the inn knew about Fang Xiaoyue's situation.
Therefore, no matter whether it is the innkeeper, the waiter, or even the guests staying at the hotel, whenever they see Fang Xiaoyue, they will salute respectfully and call her "sir."
After all, this is a champion and a senior official of the Hanlin Academy!
Well, most people don’t know what kind of unit the Hanlin Academy is. They only know that the officials of the Hanlin Academy are bigger than county magistrates!
I have to say that Fang Xiaoyue felt a little happy when someone called her "sir" respectfully.
However, he did not stay at the inn. Instead, after buying some food for easy storage in the inn kitchen, he and Zhang Yuanming got on the carriage and left the town.
But what Fang Xiaoyue never expected was that at noon, when he entered Wangling County and was about to find a restaurant to have lunch, he was stopped at the gate by two county soldiers guarding the city gate. Come down.
The reason was that the grain tax transported to the county town from Wangling County was stolen yesterday. The county magistrate was furious and ordered the inspection department and the police chief to investigate strictly.
Therefore, the security inside and outside the county was tightened.
Fang Xiaoyue didn't want the two county soldiers to inspect his carriage carelessly. The goods carried on an ox cart were stabbed back and forth more than ten times with a long spear. The goods owner was about to cry.
So he had to show his official credentials.
The two county soldiers were not completely stupid. Although they didn't know whether it was true or false, they didn't dare to neglect it. They hurriedly called someone to ask the inspection department to come over for inspection.
Not long after, a young general trotted over on a green mule.
No way, this mule is the offspring of a horse and a donkey. It has the strength of a horse and the endurance of a donkey, but it just can't be fast.
Seeing Fang Xiaoyue's rather strange look, the inspection officer smiled sheepishly and explained: "This is something that can't be helped. The Ministry of Household Affairs should have allocated the money and food last month, but now, They didn’t allocate money, so I had to take the horse to a pawn shop to exchange some money for my brothers to eat and drink.”
Hearing this, Fang Xiaoyue felt that this inspection style was quite simple.
After all, the Daze Kingdom has been in continuous operation for more than two hundred years. Although the armor is still sharp, many places have become rotten.
Just like Inspector Sun from Kuangluo County, although he can train troops well, he still needs some military rations.
It was rare for the inspector in front of him to actually take his war horse to a pawn shop to exchange for money to feed and drink his county soldiers.
However, Fang Xiaoyue couldn't say much about this kind of thing. He just showed his official certificate to the other party for examination.
As an inspection officer, it is basic knowledge to inspect the official certificate, so after the young inspector looked at the official certificate, he hurriedly handed it back with both hands respectfully: "I met Mr. Fang in Xialu Feng."
After introducing himself, Lu Feng even kicked the two county soldiers.
His actions are not surprising.
After all, the phenomenon of nobles and nobles being neglected by military officials has become more serious now. A mere ninth-grade patrol inspector can really only call himself a subordinate, not an official, in front of a sixth-grade civil servant.
As for the two county soldiers, Lu Feng was worried that the other party had offended Fang Xiaoyue, so he just kicked Fang Xiaoyue to vent his anger, so as to prevent Fang Xiaoyue, a civil servant, from harboring resentment in his heart and retaliate later.
